Out of Your Mouth


Out of Your Mouth was a Canadian hard rock band from Calgary, Alberta. It was fronted by guitarist, vocalist, producer and writer Jason Darr.

Farr, a singer songwriter, brought together a group of local Calgary musicians under the name Flu in 1997. The band played together for several years, including in Toronto during Music Week in 2001. They participated in the Cure's Greatest Hits tour and won a songwriting contest. Musicians included Farr, Mark Radloff and Paul Sperman. An album, Fish With Necks, containing mainly songs written by Farr, was self-released.

After a failed development deal with Dreamworks, Farr arranged a deal with Sony BMG. Because of trademark issues, the band changed their name to Out of Your Mouth. In 2004, Farr, with Sperman on drums and some guitar and backup vocals from Jerrod Maxwell-Lyster, began work on the album, and recorded a single which became a Canadian Top 40 hit, a rocked-up cover of Madonna's song "Music". The album, Draghdad, which included the "Music" track, was released in 2004.

To publicize the album, Farr, with Sperman on bass, Maxwell-Lyster on guitar, and drummer Rob Shawcross went out on tour with Social Code, Bif Naked and The Salads, and later performed around Alberta with other bands.

After the tour Paul Sperman left due to creative differences. Maxwell-Lyster and Shawcross also left over financial disagreements with Farr. Although Shawcross and Farr were still on good terms, the two parted ways and Darr formed a new band, Neurosonic. Maxwell-Lyster and Shawcross went on to form a local Calgary band called AutoBody.
